Chevron is contributing $300,000 to enhance Colorado’s Conservation Data Explorer, or CODEX, developed by the Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) at Colorado State University. An early investment from Chevron in 2015 helped CNHP build the tool.
The secret lives of roots: Tropical forest root systems are central to understanding the carbon stock change
International research led by CSU suggests that studying root function in tropical forests could help vegetation models improve predictions of climate change.
Avoid eating sea turtle meat if you want to cut toxic heavy metals from your diet
Research suggests that public health campaigns could be the solution to sea turtle conservation.
Waterhole superspreaders: Cattle can spread disease to wildlife at water sources
As climate change drives higher temperatures and water scarcity, disease transmission between livestock and wildlife at shared resources is on the rise. Colorado State University research suggests that resource management and parasite treatment can help mitigate parasite transmission between cattle and wild herbivores.
New 66-million-year history of carbon dioxide offers little comfort for today
A massive new review of ancient atmospheric carbon-dioxide levels and corresponding temperatures lays out a daunting picture of where the Earth’s climate may be headed. The study covers geologic records spanning the past 66 million years, putting present-day concentrations into context with deep time.
Study: Light pollution is luring birds to cities – and sometimes to their deaths
In the largest study of its kind, scientists used weather radar data to map bird stopover density in the United States and found that artificial light is a top indicator of where birds will land.
The sound of injustice: Inequitable urban noise impacts people, wildlife
Colorado State University acoustic ecologists found that redlined, or marginalized, communities have more and louder urban noise, which has been linked to negative consequences for people and wildlife.
Simple technique helps ranchers and threatened sage grouse weather drought
A low-tech method developed by Colorado State University and partners has revolutionized how federal agencies, conservation organizations and ranchers restore degraded meadows and ranchlands across the West.
Warner College calls for transdisciplinary proposals following first round of awards
Dean A. Alonso Aguirre supports transdisciplinary work in the Warner College of Natural Resources with new research and travel grants.
CSU researcher explores the global magnitude of industry’s effects on Indigenous Peoples
Extractive and industrial development projects threaten the fundamental rights of Indigenous Peoples, according to a new study co-authored by Colorado State University Assistant Professor Dominique David-Chavez.
